Arroz Caldo is also known as chicken congee or porridge, a comfort food that mirrors the traditional chicken noodle soup. What makes it special is the addition of ginger which gives it a nice depth of flavor and warmth.
My arroz caldo recipe:
12-16 cups of homemade chicken stock
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons minced ginger
oil for sauteeing
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 chicken bullion cubes
1 rotisserie chicken deboned
1 1/2 cups rice - sushi, jasmine or long grain
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 handful chopped parsley
-- In large dutch oven, saute garlic, onions and ginger in cooking oil. Cook until onions are softened.
-- Add chicken to pot and heat through.
-- Add rice and stir to coat with oil.
-- Add black pepper and bullion cubes.
-- Add homemade chicken stock and stir.
-- Let it cook over low to medium heat for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occassionally.
-- Add lemon juice and chopped parley about 5 minutes before serving.
I love the lemon! Thanks for the recipe!
